Pear Soda - Franklin Fountain : Philadelphia, PA

Pear Soda - Franklin Fountain : Philadelphia, PA

Back when my friends Brian and Kevin took me to The Fountain for ice cream, I picked up two bottled-sodas. (A Jersey-cream and this Pear Soda.)

The bottle is made of brown-tinted glass and it is short and
stocky when compared to the other beverages in my fridge. The label
design is quite modern and minimalistic. I like the contrast of the
modern design against a vintage looking bottle. However I am not a fan
of the HOTLIPS logo, lipstick-print designs always bother me.

I had to use my bottle opener for this soda, which was kind of fun. (I rarely get to use it.)
Once opened, I noticed the soda smelled like a sparkling cider. The
beverage contains “100% fruit juice,” which is always nice to see.
